YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OB-
LIGATIONS:
The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency and POULAN/WEED
EATER, DIVISION OF WCI OUTDOOR
PRODUCTS are pleased to explain the emis-
sions control system warranty on your lawn
and garden equipment engine. All new utility
and lawn and garden equipment engines
must be designed, built, and equipped to meet
the stringent anti--smog standards. POU-
LAN/WEED EATER must warrant the emis-
sion control system on your lawn and garden
equipment engine for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse, ne-
glect, or improper maintenance of your lawn
and garden equipment engine. Your emission
control system includes parts such as the
carburetor and the ignition system. Where a
warrantable condition exits, POULAN/WEED
EATER will repair your lawn and garden
equipment engine at no cost to you. Ex-
penses covered under warranty include diag-
nosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S
WARRANTY COVERAGE:
If any emissions
related part on your engine (as listed under
Emissions Control Warranty Parts List) is de-
fective or a defect in the materials or work-
manship of the engine causes the failure of
such an emission related part, the part will be
repaired or replaced by POULAN/WEED
EATER.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPON-
SIBILITIES:
As the lawn and garden equip-
ment engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance
listed in your Owner’s Manual. POULAN/
WEED EATER recommends that you retain
all receipts covering maintenance on your
lawn and garden equipment engine, but POU-
LAN/WEED EATER cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure
to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance. As the lawn and garden equip-
ment engine owner, you should be aware that
POULAN/WEED EATER may deny you war-
ranty coverage if your lawn and garden equip-
ment engine or a part of it has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, un-
approved modifications, or the use of parts
not made or approved by the original equip-
ment manufacturer. You are responsible for
presenting your lawn and garden equipment
engine to a POULAN/WEED EATER autho-
rized repair center as soon as a problem ex-
ists. Warranty repairs should be completed in
a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days. If you have any questions regarding
your warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact your nearest authorized ser-
vice center or call POULAN/WEED EATER at
1--800--554--6723.
